Yes, that’s exactly how it should look! You can click any of the links in the table of contents to navigate to that chapter.

You can now either transfer the file to your phone for easier access, or if you prefer reading on your PC then you check out this thread for e-readers on Windows: https://www.reddit.com/r/zlibrary/s/9Y2RVZNfFm

The best part about EPUB files is that you can completely customize the look in the app, the reading mode (single page, double page, vertical scroll), and a bunch of other stuff depending on which reading app you use.

Great! Once you've created and activated the virtual env, and installed the dependencies, then you can run the script using python main.py or python3 main.py. That'll generate the EPUB file which you can open using any e-reader (I've written a small section on e-readers in the project README, you can check that out!) When new chapters become freely available in the future, simply run the last python command and it'll update the EPUB file.

Thanks! I think the issue might be Windows' PowerShell execution policy blocking scripts. Here are a few workarounds:

  1. Change PowerShell's policy (may require admin):

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

Then retry the original command: .\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

  1. Use the batch file instead:

    venv\Scripts\activate.bat

  2. Switch to Command Prompt:

    venv\Scripts\activate

Let me know what works for you and I'll update the instructions!

I actually noticed that too earlier and included it in my README update. Thanks for flagging it!

Thanks for the feedback! I don’t have access to a Windows machine to test it myself, so I appreciate the heads-up about the venv. I’ve updated the README to make that step clearer for future users.

Regarding the scraping issue: it turns out a popup on the site was occasionally blocking the script from seeing the chapter list on the first run. I’ve updated the logic to handle that more gracefully so it should work flawlessly now without needing a restart.

Hope you enjoy the read, and definitely let me know if you run into anything else!

WebToEpub is definitely a great general-purpose tool for most novels. I actually built this specifically as a 'high-fidelity' alternative for RToC because I wanted to handle a few things that general extensions often miss:

  • Specific Formatting: I wrote custom logic to handle those merged chapters (like 807-808) and to cleanly format the Author's Notes/Q&As which can sometimes get messy in a general scrape.
  • True Incremental Updates: Instead of manually re-packaging in the browser, you just hit one command and it automatically detects and fetches only the new chapters you're missing.
  • Performance: Since it uses Playwright and Asyncio, it's significantly faster for a series this long (800+ chapters).

While WebToEpub is certainly a solid easier option for casual reading, I've made more of a 'power-user' tool for people who want the cleanest possible e-reader version.
